A vividly colored seahorse wraps around the side of one of their bodies as she stands on her forearms, arching her back and bending her knees forward.

A hairy, big-eyed tarantula stares intensely at viewers as the model curves her body upside down, supporting her weight with her hands and feet.

Another picture shows a model transformed into a giraffe, warping her flexible torso completely backwards as she points her right leg to the sky to emphasize the animal’s long neck.

Photographer Jonathan Macauley captured the incredible creations as he stood by and watched Fay do her magic.

The contortionists can only hold a position for a maximum of five seconds, so Fay says that she has to be quick on her feet in order to get what she wants.

“I then keep painting and repositioning the models until they look like the real animal,” she adds.

Currently living in England, Fay has been body panting for three years and says she drew inspiration for the images from elements in Mother Nature.

“This series of transformations is based on the marvels of the natural world,” Fay said. “The animals featured are both closely linked to evolution and have developed and changed over a long period of time.”
